PATENT ()rnrca.

OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

REMEDY FOR COUGHS, 86C- SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,140, dated June 27, 1882.

Application filed April 21, 1882.

vented a new and useful compound of medicine for coughs and all diseases of the throat and lungs, besides it operates as a potent remedy for diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs, of which the following is a specification.

My compound consists of the following ingredients of medicines combined in the proportions stated,viz: fluid extract blood-root, six ounces; fluid extract hyoscyamus, six ounces; fluid extract squills, four ounces; fluid extract 1 5 lobelia, two ounces; fluid extract capsicum, two

ounces; fluid extract sassafras, four ounces; fluid extract uva ursi, twelve ounces. Add

' thirty-six fluid ounces of sirup prepared as follows: To ten pounds of standard (A) sugar add two quarts of boiling hot water. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved. When cold mix withthefluid extracts. Shakethemthoroughly together, when the compound is ready for use.

Direction for using: Dose, a tea-spoonful before or just after meals three times a day, and

in obstinate cases at'ourth dose should be taken at bed-time. Ohildren, half the quantity for a dose. Shake up thoroughly before takingeach time.

I find that when we arse is combined with the other ingredients, as in my formula, I in-- (No specimens.)

cough compound, and that it supplies a muchneeded re-enforcement to the other-remedies for coughs and lung diseases. Uva mm is possessed of tannic acid and tonic properties suflicient to render the compound capable of controlling hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach and the fluxes of the bowels-symptoms which are very often present in chronic cases,and unless controlled a cure cannot be performed. I also find that when um mm is mingled with the other medicines that the compound becomes more certain and effectual in its action upon the mucus secretions of the system. Hence I claim priority for myimprovement in this class of remedies.

I am aware that some of the ingredients that are used in my compound have been form ulated and used in some form or other in cough-remedies; but I am not aware that allof them have been mingled together in the proportions I use.

What I claim, and desire tosecure by Let-- ters Patent of the United States, is

The herein-described compound of medicine, consisting of blood-root, hyoscyamus, squills, lobelia, capsicum, sassafras, am W801, and sirup, to be used for coughs and all diseases of the throat, lungs, kidneys, and urinary organs, in the proportions specified.
